Best Tide State to Fish Fortescue River Mouth (Mardie / Fortescue River Road)
The tide is everything: the mouth is shallow and only navigable from mid to high tide, the upstream pools are cut off at low water, and the springs bring water over the road crossing. The neaps suit jewfish and threadfin in the deeper holes, while the springs push threadfin up onto the mangrove edges. Cyclone season runs November to April. DFES now issues cyclone warnings as Advice, Watch and Act and Emergency Warning, and says that when a cyclone is forecast the best option is to leave the area — so pack up at the first Advice for this coast, because the road out is unsealed and crosses a tidal creek.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing Fortescue River Mouth (Mardie / Fortescue River Road) typically time sessions around the tide for mangrove jack, threadfin (blue and king threadfin), black jewfish, queenfish, and giant trevally.
